NFT: It's Friday...what has BBI learned you this week?

RC02XX : 8/28/2015 7:21 am
I learned that there are some pretty fit people on BBI with their 10+ hours of workouts each week. Along with some reading fiends.

I learned that Will Hill and his two year extension will cause many to drink heavily this weekend. How can Reece cut him for smoking weed?!?!?! What a monster!

I learned that Safety is an endangered specie in East Rutherford.

Lastly, I learned that S.Williams is not and should not be considered one of the most dominant athlete in her sport since she's not been ranked top 100 tennis player during her reign.
I learned that

some people not only call professional athletes "China Dolls", they actually stand behind it with pride.

- That Will Hill was cut for pot.
- That every team other than the Giants is completely healthy
- That so many people still can't figure out what the differences are between athletic trainers, strength and conditioning coaches and the medical staff
- Madden sucks but people keep buying it every year to tell us how much it sucks

Well, to be accurate...he is Vietnamese, so he isn't really a Chinaman. But then again, he's all moron, so we can start referring to him as a moron instead.

On the other hand, I believe the current thinking is that you should be offended/upset at absolutely anything that offends/upsets you. The intent is irrelevant, only your interpretation matters.
River Mike, you are correct.

If I am offended by someone, that person is, by definition, offensive.

His comment is an offensive line, probably more durable than that of the Giants.
